THIS biographical account of famous Asiatic ministers is by the
same author, Khondamír, and may fairly claim a place among
the General Histories. There is a later and shorter work on the
same subject, by Sadru-d dín Muhammad, son of Zabardast
Khán, written in India, in Muhammad Sháh's reign, under
the name of Irshádu-l Wuzrá. The latter contains notices of
the wazírs of India, which are not included in the former, but
it is very brief. Both works are to be found in the Farah-bakhsh
Library at Lucknow.*
The Dastúru-l Wuzrá is not an
uncommon work in India. The copy used is a 4to. volume,
containing 234 pages of 19 lines each.
